Hipperholme, a thriving village with many local shops, is home to several pubs including the Whitehall, the Traveller's Rest, the Hare and Hounds, the White Horse, the Halifax Steam Brewery with Cock o' the North Bar. A recent addition is the reopening of the former Country House as the Tannery. Lightcliffe is a village adjacent to Hipperholme, so close that the boundary between the two is blurred. Some regard the boundary as being at the doctors' surgery, where addresses change from Lightcliffe to Hipperholme. The local state primary schools are Lightcliffe Church of England School and Cliffe Hill School. Secondary schools are Hipperholme Grammar School (private) and Lightcliffe Academy (State) (formerly Hipperholme and Lightcliffe, and before that Eastfield Secondary Modern School until 1985), which is in Lightcliffe. Hipperholme stands at a crossroads, which makes travel easy. There are frequent bus routes from Hipperholme to Halifax, Brighouse, Leeds and Bradford. The Halifax rail line runs through Hipperholme and Lightcliffe, though both villages no longer have their former stations. Hipperholme and Lightcliffe's social institutions include the Old Brodleans Rugby Club, the Masonic Hall, Lightcliffe Golf Club and the Lightcliffe Club. The village's major employer is Crosslee plc, based on the site of the former Philips electrical factory. Source: Wikipedia
